Maksim Chmerkovskiy made some harsh, some say cocky, remarks last season on Dancing With The Stars. There were rumors flying around that Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s mouth might have got him booted off the dance floor. But put all those rumors to rest, because Maksim Chmerkovskiy will be returning to the hit ABC show. Keep reading to find out which star Maksim will be working with on this season of DWTS.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy is a great dancer, but last season his mouth landed him in hot water with the judges. The big controversy was when Maksim referred to Dancing With The Stars as his show, when talking to the judges. By the end of the season Maksim didn’t seem to respect what any of the judges had to tell him. So it wasn’t surprising that rumors were flying that Maksim wasn’t going to be asked back to the ballroom.

Now TMZ is exclusively reporting that the bad boy of ballroom, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, will definitely return to season 14 of Dancing With The Stars. TMZ caught up with Maksim as he landed in LAX airport yesterday. Maksim was headed to his first practice at an L.A. dance studio with his new partner, Melissa Gilbert. For those of you who are not familiar with Melissa Gilbert, she was a star on Little House On The Prairie. TMZ was also the first to report that Sherri Shepherd, Melissa Gilbert and Jack Wagner will be dancing on this season of DWTS.

There is no doubt that Max makes the show and dancing with the stars would be dull without him. Yes it’s true that he’s just a tempermental Russian at heart, but he does have a charming personality all the same. He adds sex appeal to the show, particularly when he takes his shirt off. Finally, he proved that he could be ‘nice’ when he partnered Kirstie Alley – they obviously had a great time together – both on and OFF the dance floor.
